leplatypus Instead we have those 90 minutes of dull, empty movie ! I have never bend my knees to superstar, acclaimed artists so they have to prove me they do something really outstanding : here, i see nothing ! Sienna spends all the movie smoking, drinking, getting stoned, being immature and careless ! Based on the movie, i'm still wondering why Warhold is called an artist; sure he was original as he is totally numb, detached (and well played by Pearce); Fallon and Anakin Skywalker are funny co-stars and Sienna is really charming with 60s fashion but everybody is lost in a pseudo intellectual, hype movie that says, builds nothing, with no drama, no lines, no idea.. So it's a long music video that could have easily reduced to the famous 15 minutes !

jegerendreng The subject of this movie is extra-ordinary: One of the people who was hanging out in The Factory.Unfortunately this movie turns a great big can of Campbells Tomato Soup into plain old cat-p***.The plot seemed pointless and boring. We don't get close to any of the characters - Edie had a tough childhood yes but the movie doesn't really get that through. The problem might be that the movie tries to make a short summary from Edies adolescence till death - we don't have time to actually see what's happening.The actor Sienna Miller playing Edie i think does a good job - she is the Moviestar and the Ex-Moviestar/drug-addict when she's supposed to.Guy Pierce plays the role as Andy Warhol. This part is what I think is one the biggest drawback of the movie. It's the wrong cast for the role. He doesn't show any of the depth, self-irony and humor that Andy had. An actor like Philip Seymour Hofman or Robert Downey Jr. would have fitted a lot better and might have seemed credible - instead Andy ends up seeming like a calculated dry insurance-agent dressed up badly as a cynic artsy idiot. Overall a movie which could have shown the story of an art-scene with all of it's brilliant strange people, drugs etc. but instead it was a a shallow fabricated story about a girl going after fame and lured into a being a drug-addict.

Exxon_1985 I wish i would've met Edie Sedgwick , of how idiotic and purely lovely she was , of how cheeky and thickly lovable person she was , but generally you know what is the problem ? Sienna Miller is NOT . screw details,here we have another Biography | Drama kinda movie. and it is walking in the edge rising and falling fare well . looks like a memorial of how 21 years old Edie rise just joining the porno graphical worthless underground movies of Andy Warhol . though i cant bare judging this raw , but what better idea it can be with such movies.who knows this things? they're kind of art? then go F**k yourselves .1964 and young 21 years old Edie Sedgwick(Sienna Miller) is about to go to art,but her famous and rich far more about thoughts family never let her to do it.she goes party to party with her youth energy to find the gate.finally she finds Andy Warhol(Guy Pearce) who is a little bit bisexual(Jeez what a shame) and works in his independent studio named Factory.she woks in the art work(F**k if i know)a while and making underground movies with him until he meets Bob Dylan(Hayden Christensen) and they start to have relationship.after she screws up with Dylan and Andy,she starts to ruin herself with Drug Addiction and drinking problems.her family force her to rehab in a hospital in 1970.she dies in 1971 of a drug overdose.so many 28 or 27 years old people died during the start of 70 decade.Jim Morrison,Jimi Hendrix,Janis Joplin and ... Edie is one of lost souls of early 70s too.the angel of downtown underworld factory production movies of Andy Warhol.even Andy indicated that he felt some kind of love with Edie that he never felt like before.anyway now both are dead.pulling out of dead people the movie really is not a big something. Sienna Miller is harshly trying to mimic like Edie,spectacular similarities they both have,but because i have not seen Edie before,i cant judge of how she was.but in such weak movie , her performance is good.you know i believe they don't make a decent Biography film nowadays and its not Sienna's problem . its just that it is not a costly production with superstars.Edie herself was not a superstar and the only bright spot can be her ended relation with Bob Dylan.it was nice to meet you Edie,may you rest in piece forever. may that interrupted soul will settle somewhere in the time...

Woodyanders Sweet, wide-eyed innocent Edie Sedgwick (a bravura performance by the lovely Sienna Miller) comes to New York City and falls under the charismatic spell of legendary audacious pop artist Andy Warhol (a deliciously brash portrayal by Guy Pearce). Sedgwick becomes a big star under Warhol's expert tutelage. But things eventually deteriorate when Edie falls for nice guy folk singer/songwriter Billy Quinn (a solid and likable turn by Hayden Christensen) and gets strung out on hard drugs. Director George Hickenlooper and screenwriter Captain Mauzer offer an admirably upfront warts and all depiction of the whole crazy Warhol factory scene that delivers a potent and provocative central message about how the fickle nature of fleeting celebrity can destroy someone. Moreover, Hickenlooper comes through with a vivid and flavorful evocation of the rampant anything-goes hedonism and experimentalism of the era. Miller really holds the picture together with her strong and captivating work as Edie; she astutely nails the fragile, troubled and wounded soul lurking just underneath Sedgwick's cheery and glamorous veneer. The rest of the cast are likewise excellent, with praiseworthy contributions by Pearce (his creepy and parasitic Warhol is nothing short of brilliant), Christensen, Jimmy Fallon as ruthless socialite Chuck Wein, Shawn Hatosy as Edie's loyal photographer friend Syd Pepperman, Mena Suvari as the impudent Richie Berlin, Beth Grant as Andy's proud, doting mother Julie, and James Naughton as Edie's square, incestuous father Fuzzy Sedgwick. Popping up in nifty bits are Illeana Douglas as fawning model agency head Diana Vreeland, Edward Herrmann as kindly family accountant James Townsend, and Colleen Camp as Edie's landlady. Michael Grady's dazzling cinematography makes snazzy occasional use of split screen and neatly switches between several different film stocks throughout. Edward Shermur's spare, melodic score does the trick and the spot-on groovy 60's soundtrack quite simply rocks. Well worth a look.
